Hi All,
I'm back from travelling about, the last few weeks.

The site seems to have survived well on the home server over that time.

I was able to use a lot of different networks to test the parts of the site that are hosted from home (which is most of them) and it runs pretty quickly.
In synthetic tests, the upper end of the range of performance values overlaps the lower end of the spread of values that you get from Krystal.
Sustained download speeds are comparable between the two sources as well.

I took a Windows toughpad with me on my journeys, so that I could remote desktop into the server in case anything needed restarting or reconfiguring.
At one hotel, they were having some trouble with the fuses and two phone chargers burned out as well as the power adapter for the toughpad.
The hotel management and maintenance people were nice enough to get me a new toughpad charger delivered next-day by scamazon.

Once we have a whole site running off one server, I have a big backlog of Star Fleet material to add.

Update 2026.07.27
The current contents of the site database has been mirrored across to Crystal. All site modules have been synced across, and I wrote a little script that will direct any traffic to the homepage or to any missing resource on xbomber.co.uk to the corresponding location on xbomber.com.

Update 2026.07.28
I used an HTML embed to re-instate the sidebar summary of recent forum posts.
It looks and behaves just the way it did before
